When blogging crosses the line of professionalism

Military blogging is a sensitive issue. How do military members maintain an open, thoughtful, and critical discussion in the public sphere without crossing the line of professionalism? The military is still working this out, which is why we have such confusing and contradictory policy among the services. I've written several times on the subject.

Today Danger Room highlighted a guy who allegedly went too far: Master Sergeant C.J. Grisham, who maintains A Soldier's Perspective. He got himself into trouble for calling his Commander and Chief a liar and publicly waging a battle against his local school board on his blog.

Did Grisham go too far? Check out Danger Room's post and the linked articles so you can decide for yourselves.
